Say goodbye to your loved ones, repent your sins and enjoy your last few days on earth because, if a US Christian group is to be believed, the world will end this Saturday. Can I say this? It’s probably going to end for them not us. Sounds like a kool aid event to me!

Howard Camping, a minister and the president of US conservative group Family Radio, has started a campaign proclaiming that Judgment Day will happen on May 21 2011.

Billboards advertising our impending doom boldly claim that the “Bible guarantees” destruction this weekend.

Mr Camping said that the beginning of the end will start with an earthquake, and that while believers will be instantly raptured, those dismissive of his claims will face five months of misery on Earth before the end of the world in October.

He said: “On May 21, there’s going to be a terrific earthquake way, way greater than anything else the Earth has ever experienced and that will be the beginning of Judgment Day.

“The rest of the world will know instantly that Judgment Day has begun because all of the earthquake sensors will pick that up instantly.”
